Thermal Imaging Camera

Friday, 01 April 2011

The new FTI-E 1000 camera from Land Instruments (Dronfield, UK) is designed for high-temperature applications. Operating at 1μm, the new instrument combines high-resolution thermal imaging with accurate temperature measurement from 600 to 3000°C (1100 to 5400°F), over a range of 4 models. With an operating waveband centered around 1μm and a form factor compatible with existing System 4 and UNO mountings, Land can now provide an imaging solution for applications where accurate and reliable measurements traditionally necessitated a short-wave single-point pyrometer. The high-resolution detector array coupled with precision optics is capable of resolving targets as small as 0.013mm square.
